Mexican Substitutes
This weekend I am lucky enought to have some visitors from good old Illinois. We are going out in Old Town for some Mexican food and margs which will not be good for the diet but will be good for the entertainment value. I love a good marg and can’t skip one when out and about, but when I’m at home I make my own version for less than 100 calories!!! All you do is mix 3 parts Crystal Light with one part tequilla. Try it, you can have 3 of these “margaritas” for the same amount of calories as 1 real margarita!
Guacamole and sour cream are another problem I have when eating out at Mexican restaurants, however, when I am at home I have a solution! Use fat free plain yogurt and make your own “guacamole” using 1/2 avocado, 1 cup peas, a little pico de gallo, a tiny splash of lime, and a pinch of salt. This combination is delicious and a little less harmful to your diet!
Use these tips and have a buena fiesta minus mucho calories!
